Solution
Concentrated HCl 38% by mass i.e 100gm of HCL soclution contains 38gm of HCl moles of HCl = given mass/molar mass = 38/36.5 Now density of solution = 1.19 g mL-1Since solution is 100gm. Density = Mass/volume = Volume= mass/density = 100/1.19 ml Molarity = Moles of Solute/volume of Solution in L M = (38/36.5)*(1000*1.19/100) = 12.38 M
